  • e.g. lemon juice

Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

great for summer

Cook the rice in salted water according to the package instructions. Dice the onion and bell pepper. Place in a bowl. Drain the corn and peas in a colander. Cut the tuna and Gouda into pieces. Add the rice to the bowl and stir in the corn, peas, and tuna. Mix in the cheese pieces well. For the dressing, mix the herbs with the oil and water. Pour evenly over the salad. Mix briefly and let it sit. The salad can be served immediately, but tastes even better if it has a chance to sit. You can also use more oil, depending on whether you want a firmer or looser salad. I personally like it mushy. The lemon juice gives the salad a special freshness.
